GENUINE SYMPATHY EXTENDED
The serious misfortune which
has befallen Mr. Edward Elder,
Rev. F. R. Graves, Prof. G. F.
Oliphant, Judge Oliphant, Mrs. S.
K. Cook and others through the
awful fire Tuesday night has
brought out for them the deepest
sympathy from the people of this
community. The loss to them
and their families in the burning
of their homes and household
goods is irrepairable and exceed
ingly sad, but no doubt the words
of sympathy and acts of friend
ship and love which have been
* •
made manifest to them all by
their neighbors and fellow citizens
is a source of comfort and an in-,
spi ration.
The liven which these, our belov
ed fellow citizens, have lived be
fore us all draw iih to them in
their distress and cause us to want
to help them and to make them
know that they are appreciated by
the people among whom they have
lived. All of them have 1 the genu
ine sympathy of the people of the
ent ire community.

The fifth annual session of the
Barnesville chautauqua begins

pleasure, entertainment and in
struction.
It now ronmiufl for the people
of Barnesville to make this ses

serves the warmest support of all
the people. It. is especially im
portant that we make this year's

for months past and they know
that they have presented ft pro
gram that ought to be appreciated.

A FINE PROGRAM.
The Macon News Saturday re
ferred ns follows to Barnesville and
our ehautauqua:
“The fifth annual session of the

prising little city has gotten up
quite an interesting program for

ing in 1888 this ehautauqua asso
ciation has brought to Georgia the
most eminent platform orators,
politicians and entertainers of
America, and the program which

ard and inferior to no entertain
ment of its kind in the South.

The senatorial convention for
the Twenty-second district met in
Forsyth Tuesday and declared
Hon. W. A. Worsham, of Monroe
county, the nominee as the result
of the primary held on June sth.
Mr. Worsham is a strongman and
will make an acceptable repre
sentative for the district. Mr. 1*
M. Stafford represented Pike
county in the convention, and in
undertaking to carry out the
instructions of the executive com
mittee of this county, he ma’de a
vigorous fight to change the present
plan of nominating the senator by
a district primary, and leaving the
nomination entirely to the county
entitled to the senator under the
rotation system. Mr. Stafford’s
fight was unsuccessful, however,
and the present plan was adopted
for the next two years.

elected. Pike’s members are Col.

Stafford and J. 15. Madden. Col.
Stephens will he the chairman of

MISS SEAMAN AND
MR. FIFIELD WED.
Were Married at 9:1*0 a. m. Yesterday
at the Home of Judge W. A.
Prout.
Yesterday morning at 0:80
o’clock, at the home of the bride’s
parents, Mr. and Mrs. William
Alexander Prout, on Zebulon
street,.Miss Fannie Maie Seaman
and Leonard S Fifield were happily
joined in marriage, Rev. C. W.
burden performing the ceremony.
The only persons present outside
of the immediate family, were the
attendants, Miss Maud Crawford,
of Thomaston, and Mr. B. M.
Turner, .Jr., and Rev. and Mrs. C.
W. Durden. On account of the
illness of the bride during the
past ten days, all the invitations
recently issued had to be recalled
and hence the numerous friends
of of the families of these* two
popular young people were una
voidably denied the privilege and
pleasure of witnessing the happy
event and participating in its
attendant joys. As it was, the
bride was barely able to stand
while the ceremony was being
performed. The great popularity
of Mr. and Mrs. Fifield is attested
by* a large number of handsome
and costly presents, which have
been pouring in upon them during
the last few days. There must
have been nearly a hundred of
these presents and many of them
are simply exquisite.
M iss Seaman is one of Barnes
villo’s most popular young women
and not only has hosts of friends
here but throughout the state.
Mr. Fifield has lived in this city
only about two years but by his
daily walk and conversation, he
has shown himself to be a most
excellent gentleman and has won
for himself many admirers and
friends. Ho is now a partner in
the Barnesville Planing Mills, and
is a rising young business man.
The News-Gazette joins hosts
of friends in offering congratula
tions and wishing for Mr. and
Mrs. Fifield a long, happy and
useful life.
Family cares and duties do not weigh
down the well woman, and the children
are never in her way. But when the
womanly health fails, and there is a con
stant struggle with weakness and pain,
household duties are a burden almost
past bearing, and children are a cease
less annoyance and worry.
Weak women are made strong and
sick women are made well by the use of
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It
establishes regularity, dries disagreeable
drains, heals inflammation and ulcera
tion and cures female weakness.
Sick women are invited to consult Dr.
Pierce by letter free. All correspondence
strictly private anti sacredly confidential.
Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
"I had been ailing some time, troubled with
female weakness." writes Mrs. Wtn. H. Johnson,
of Avondale, Chester Cos.. Pa. "Every month I
would have to lie on my hack. I tried many
diffeieut medicine* and nothing gave me relief
until 1 began Dr. Pierce's medicines, using two
bottles of ' Favorite Prescription ’ and two of
'Golden Medical Discovery.' These medicines
have cured me When I began your treatment
1 was not able to do very much, but now I do
the work for mv family of nine, and feel better
to-day than I have for a year. I thank you.
doctor, from the bottom of my heart, for well
do 1 know that you are the one who cured me."
Favorite Prescription " has the testi
mony erf thousands of women to its com
plete cure of womanly diseases. Do not
accept an unknown and unproved sub
stitute in its place. *

Mr. Holmes has a large number
of nice melons which will be put
on the market in a day or so and
no doubt they will Hud ready sale.
